Regular API function

simGenerateShapeFromPath / sim.generateShapefromPath

Description	Generates an extrusion shape from a path. See also the other path related functions.
C/C++ synopsis	simInt simGenerateShapeFromPath(const simFloat* path,simInt pathSize,const simFloat* section,simInt sectionSize,simInt options,const simFloat* upVector,simFloat reserved)
C/C++ parameters	path: the path, specified in row-major order, with x/y/z/qx/qy/qz/qw values for each path point. The orientation parts for each path point are ignored if the two first bits of options are zero. pathSize: the size/length of the path pointer section: the extrusion profile, with x/y pairs, e.g. x1,y1,x2,y2,..,xn,yn. If the first and last pair overlap, the section is closed sectionSize: the size/length of the section pointer options: bit-coded: bit0-bit1: 0=upVector is upVector, 1=upVector is the x-axis of the path point frame, 2=upVector is the y-axis of the path point frame, 3=upVector is the z-axis of the path point frame. If bit2 is set (4), the path is closed. upVector: a vector that identifies the up-side of the extrusion shape. Can be nullptr if the two first bits of options are non-zero.
C/C++ return value	shapeHandle: the handle of the generated shape
Lua synopsis	int shapeHandle=sim.generateShapeFromPath(float[] path,float[] section,int options=0,float[3] upVector={0.0,0.0,1.0})
Lua parameters	Similar to the C-function counterpart
Lua return values	Similar to the C-function counterpart
Python synopsis	int shapeHandle=sim.generateShapeFromPath(list path,list section,int options=0,list upVector=[0.0,0.0,1.0])
